Take $2000, and 7 days. Buy a round trip ticket to Shanghai, China. Spend half the money on the air fare.
When you arrive in China, go to the Everbright Hotel in Xujiahui - VERY nice hotel, around $40 a night for a comfortable room.
The next day, got to stall 48, second floor, Xiang Yang Market (461 Jin Hui Lu). Get measured, choose out the fabrics you want, deposit $250 (you’re going to get 5 suits and shirts, right?).
Go spend a few days exploring China. WONDERFUL real massages - by professionals, what you’d get in upscale spas in the US - for only $10 an hour. Get your hair washed - it’s a $1.25 for a 50 minute procedure, which includes the shampooing, a 25 minute scalp massage, a 15 minute neck and arm massage, and styling.
Then go explore Shanghai. $50 a day will go a LONG way. The Brazilian BBQ place across from the market where you’re getting your suits is phenomenal - all you can eat of some AMAZING cuts of meat for around $8.
After 4 days, go back for your trial fit. Then return 2 days later, pay your other $250, and take your 5 tailored silk or wool or linen suits and linen or silk shirts home...:)
MUCH better than the Sears suits, good prices, and a great vacation in a very cosmopolitan, modern city...:)
I always though insured munis was a sham....if they defaulted there isnt a company on the earth with enough assets to pay the investors so who cares insured or uninsured.......
This person is either an extreme bear, or, they are thinking of buying stock in these firms and are trying to run down the share price. I’m sorry, but besides Ford, the rest are pretty much guaranteed to either survive as is, or, go into beneficial, non distressed mergers.
i think a large %= psycho fear
Mot has a multi billion dollar wireline and wireless infrastructure biz, they are not going anywhere. Once again, momentum investors fomenting FUD to drive down prices of large cappers.

AT&T is attacking Comcast in Tennessee and might win. It appears they will be able to provide cable TV competition.

Most RCA stuff is low value junk.
Not depressing. This is exactly what keeps US industry alive, vibrant, profitable. The finest evidence that Schumpeter was exactly right.
But Ashley is forever.
Can you spell I-R-I-D-I-U-M ?
Happening al over US....U-Verse,internet,video and voip on the same ole crappy pair you now talk on and Alcatel makes the VRAD that supplies it and MOT makes the STB that decipers it
Buy a hummer then. AM General is the old studebaker corp.
That car was still made in very small numbers well into the eighties...maybe even made it to the early nineties.
Horse pucky.
Motorola is WELL diversified. It is hardly likely that poor sales in its cellular division will sink the entire company.
I personally worked on that project and it was riddled with errors. What really killed them was ignoring Nokia during that time. They wanted the money and got it but the code failed miserably and the market was out of reach.
